  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

I bring you news of great joy, today a saviour has been born to us, Christ the Lord. Alleluia! — Luke 2: 10,11 May our prayer be that this Christmas will bring to you and your family true Peace, Hope and joy. Christmas Message KCP Christmas Edition Cover Competition The Miracle of Christmas – Knowing that you are loved Mention to almost anyone that Christmas is just around the corner and they’ll gasp with astonishment and tell you how it’s sneaked up on them yet again…. The first Christmas certainly took Mary and Joseph by surprise. They had much to do too…. There was the challenge of a long journey to Bethlehem to fulfil the requirements of the law. They had a child due any day and they had nowhere to stay. With the gratitude of those who have next to nothing to their name they accepted joyfully the stable with its accompanying menagerie, earthen floors and ordinary farm yard smells. No king was ever born into such impoverished surroundings. There was little to recommend this accommodation with its zero star rating but it was a roof over their heads and a windbreak from the winter chill. Keeping up appearances was certainly not a concern for the Son of Man as his family generated all the warmth and comfort you could ask for in an otherwise appalling situation.

Whilst the Eco Beach population is not as high in density as other Western Australian nesting populations at Cape Domett, Barrow Island or the Pilbara region, it remains significant for the following reasons: The 12 km nesting beach and survey area is free from human development, which can impact on nesting turtles and hatchlings.

  • Tropical Cyclone Rona, 1999
    CASE STUDY: Tropical Cyclone Rona, 1999 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Rona made landfall just to the north of Cow Bay, which is near the Daintree River Mouth. The main wind damage extended from Newell Beach to Cape Tribulation, with the major damage between Cape Kimberley and Cape Tribulation. Some trees in the Cape Tribulation area that survived the legendry 1934 cyclone fell during Rona. The maximum wind speeds were recorded by the Low Isle automatic weather station with 10- minute average winds of 71 knots and a maximum wind gust of 85 knots. The lowest pressure of 983.0 hPa (not in the eye) was recorded at Low Isle. A 1metre storm surge was recorded at Port Douglas (at low tide) and a 1.4m surge was recorded at the mouth of the Mossman River. These sites were south of the maximum wind zone where the largest storm surge would be expected. Major flooding occurred between Cairns and Townsville. Despite the confined wind fetch inside the Barrier Reef, Rona generated some large waves as indicated from wave recording stations run by the Beach Protection Authority. At the Low Isle station the peak significant wave height (the average of the one-third highest waves in a 26.6 minute period) exceeded 3.5m and the maximum wave height exceeded 6.3m. The Cairns station recorded significant wave heights to 2.49m and a peak height of 4.65m. These were record heights (since recordings commenced in 1975) for Cairns. Tropical cyclone Steve in 2000 exceeded these wave heights at Cairns.

Martin Adam, Ph.D. Annotation The purpose of this thesis is an analysis of a corpus comprising of opening sentences of articles collected from the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia. Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.
